Chapter 101 

Matilda stormed out at three in the afternoon, despite Logan’s pleas for her to stay. Her resolution was firm, and with a heavy heart, she parted ways. 

A nagging fear haunted her- the prospect of losing to Yvan and, consequently, losing Logan. was a cruel lesson, but she had to teach Logan to stand on his own two feet, to grow up even if it meant being without her.
